Advice Needed For A Friend About Duplex Vs Block Of Flats Vs Bungalow, To Buy? by ikoroduarea: 3:04pm On Jun 19, 2022
My friend and his wife contacted me to advice them what type of house they should buy in Lagos. I just told them to give me some days to make my findings but actually i don't even know the best advice to tell them. They reside in Manchester UK and they are confused if they should go for a Duplex or Block of Flats or Bungalow. They only visit Nigeria like twice a year though their kids ha never been to Nigeria before.

Please i need your advice so i can explain to him the type of a house he should go for before he make a mistake.

Moderator please if can you help send this to front page. Many thanks.

Why?

Security and privacy. Some people no dey use eye see person wey come back from away

He should get a fenced apartment that only them will stay in. No next door neighbours.

Fenced compound, can you explain? Duplex or Bungalow or Block of Flats?

Yes.. but not an issue if he does not buy in a poor neighborhood.

It's also risky living all alone in a compound. Also not good to leave the house vacant for a long time.

Estate is his best option.

Bungalow is OK. Contemporary Bungalow. Unless his family size is big. After the house will just be for visit isn't it?
